(Crewe/Milan, 17 April 2024) At the historic Palazzo Chiesa, during Milan Design Week 2024 (16-21 April), Bentley Home will introduce a captivating six-piece collection that merges innovative design with sustainability. The collection marks Bentley Home’s pioneering venture into home office furnishings and is showcased at their esteemed Atelier.
The series was crafted in collaboration with noted designers Carlo Colombo, Federico Peri, and Francesco Forcellini, who brought their deep knowledge and innovative approach to sustainable materials and advanced production technologies. This collaboration allowed for an unparalleled level of customization in partnership with the Bentley Motors Design Team in Crewe.
Chris Cooke, Head of Bentley Design Collaborations, elaborated on the new line, “The 2024 collection exudes dynamism and a refined touch. It represents a synergy of creative minds, each committed to infusing Bentley’s signature elegance, comfort, and craftsmanship into contemporary furniture designs. We are also pushing the boundaries of extreme personalization and customization.”
Highlights from the Bentley Home 2024 Collection:
- Wilton Desk: Designed by Francesco Forcellini, this desk introduces Bentley Home’s entry into home office furniture. It features sleek, dynamic lines and artisanal curved details. Its unique dual-shell structure conceals drawers and tapers into a delicate base, enhancing its light aesthetic. Showcased in two custom finishes, Liquid Amber and Warm Grey Fiddleback Sycamore, it demonstrates the blend of functionality and luxury.
- Bollington Office Armchair: Also designed by Forcellini, this armchair pairs perfectly with the Wilton desk. It sports a minimalist backrest that balances the desk’s volume with its sculpted, three-dimensional curves. The armchair’s sides stretch into functional armrests, mirroring the desk’s fluid lines.
- Loftus Sofa: Created by Federico Peri, this modular sofa combines sculptural forms with practical design, featuring floating cushions and integrated side tables made of marble or leather. The sofa’s design, with its ribbed textures and automotive-inspired lines, offers a geometric and dynamic aesthetic.
- Chilton Seating Line: Carlo Colombo’s design includes armchairs and chairs that showcase sinuous shapes and veneered bands set into leather, echoing Bentley’s dynamic automotive heritage.
- Langport Bed: Another of Colombo’s designs, this iconic bed features a customizable exterior panel with a Striped Diamond pattern and optional metal inlays. Its integrated reading lights offer a soft, ambient glow, perfect for relaxation.
The Bentley Home Atelier at Palazzo Chiesa, located on Corso Venezia, welcomes visitors to explore these innovative designs during the Salone del Mobile from 16 to 21 April, from 10 AM to 9 PM, and by appointment throughout the year.
